New Zealand has gone 101 days without a single COVID-19 case and today, they reinstated restrictions after four people were found to be infected.

Read that again. 

F.O.U.R. cases. 

Since the beginning of the pandemic, they’ve had a total of 22 deaths.

Meanwhile in the US, we’re at over 5,000,000 plus cases with 163,000 deaths.

F.IV.E.   M.I.L.L.I.O.N. cases. And counting.

What do you think is the difference?

22 deaths Vs 163,000 deaths? 

Never has there been a clearer difference between egoistic, power-hungry, corrupt, aggressive-masculine leadership and visionary, inclusive, compassionate balanced-feminine leadership. 

The leading qualities of feminine leadership are

Nurturing, the source of tenderness, affection, nonjudgmental acceptance, and compassion

Abundance, the freely given gifts of food and water supplied by the earth.

Inspiration, in the form of intuition, insight, and the muses that inspire creative and inclusive solutions

Peace, the impulse to live as a family in harmony

Clear focus and strategy, a big-picture capacity to combine data and logic to make people-centered decisions

As I prepare for the first ‘A Return to Self’ retreat this Friday, I realize that not every woman is feeling connected to these qualities. 

You might be feeling exhausted, angry, helpless, anxious or depressed. Or you might be feeling great one moment and shitty the next. 

But in order to master our internal response to external events, in order to tune in to our vision and leadership, we have to tune out of everything that’s draining us and find that calm center, that fountain of clarity, joy and creativity that fills us up. That kind of presence becomes impactful in how it influences everyone around. 

Emily Dickinson used to say “I dwell in possibility“

What’s possible for you at this time?
